Submit your Halloween pumpkin pics to /r/horror's carving competition!

A place to share interesting photographs and pictures. Feel free to post your own, but please read the rules first (see below), and note that we are not a catch-all for general images (of screenshots, comics, etc.)

Spoiler code

Please mark spoilers like this:
[text here](/spoiler)

Hover over to read.

Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

  5. Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to an image hosting website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.

  • If your submission appears to be filtered but definitely meets the above rules, please send us a message with a link to the comments section of your post (not a direct link to the image). Don't delete it as that just makes the filter hate you!

  • If you come across any rule violations, please report the submission or message the mods and one of us will remove it!

Please also try to come up with original post titles. Submissions that use certain clichés/memes will be automatically tagged with a warning.

Does this pie shop have cats, like those cafes in Japan?

Pies and cats are a terrible combination.

What a horrible thing to say.. Now I know cat-pie is a bit of an acquired taste but it's got quite an interesting bouquet with even the most generic housecat ..

Try a Felis margarita pie once.. it's to die for.

oh relax, just a bad joke

Who's man_in_the_mirra? Also, out of genuine curiosity, could a bot actually come up with fairly unique/relevant titles?

When I see pics like this I like to think about all the other shapes in water we can't see. They're always there, the ink/varnish/food coloring is just an indicator.

I gotta say I'm not really buying it? It looks too much like a 3dsmax render to me. But, I'm probably wrong, and I'm sure I'll get downvoted to remind me.
